PUPPET STORE by Paul Insect & Bäst at BEYOND THE STREETS SHANGHAI
The puppets at PUPPET STORE are a collaborative creation between the late BÄST from Brooklyn and Paul INSECT from London. Both artists shared a mutual passion for puppets from a young age, despite lacking traditional puppet-making experience. They crafted the puppets using discovered and recycled materials. These characters are often influenced by music and graffiti culture, while the individual personalities loosely draw inspiration from celebrities, cartoons, or people observed during performances.
INSECT and BÄST also filmed themselves dancing in various costumes they designed, ranging from oversized stereos to animal heads, all in alignment with the artists' consistently anonymous approach.
PUPPET STORE剧院的木偶是布鲁克林已故的巴斯特和伦敦的保 罗·因塞克特合作的作品。他们从小就对木偶有着共同的热爱，而且 都没有传统的木偶制作经验，艺术家们用发现并回收的材料制作了 木偶。这些角色通常参考音乐和涂鸦文化，而人物角色则松散地基于 名人、漫画或人们在观看时观察到的人物。因塞克特和巴斯特还拍摄 了自己穿着自己设计的各种服装跳舞的电影，从超大的立体声音箱 到动物头，所有这些都与艺术家们公开匿名的做法保持一致。
